Matthew Weiner

The Romanoffs raised some eyebrows with its first trailer — the size of the amazing ensemble cast alone seemed wildly ambitious, and left us wondering how Matthew Weiner could gracefully juggle all these interconnected story lines. But the new trailer for the Mad Men creator’s Amazon series comes with some additional details that shed light on Weiner’s approach: It’s an anthology.

Matthew Weiner’s The Romanoffs is easily our most anticipated new series on Amazon, but if you were expecting another drama in the vein of Mad Men, the first trailer for Weiner’s latest TV project might throw you for a loop. With an insane ensemble (seriously, everyone is in this thing) and a story that spans seven countries and eight (!) stories, The Romanoffs looks incredibly ambitious and a bit more idiosyncratic than Weiner’s acclaimed AMC series.

Matthew Weiner’s new Amazon Prime series announces its premiere date in the first teaser.

Enough Hollywood harassment scandals have emerged in recent weeks that a few get lost in the shuffle. Mad Men creator Matt Weiner seemingly found cover, for instance, but now writer-producer Marti Noxon speaks up to corroborate the original account, describing Weiner as “an ‘emotional terrorist’ who will badger, seduce and even tantrum in an attempt to get his needs met.”

Amazon may have yet a third sexual harassment scandal in its midst. Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner has now joined the group of powerful Hollywood men accused of sexual harassment, as a major Mad Men writer steps forward.

It’s hard to chart where exactly the ousting of Harvey Weinstein will lead next, but it certainly calls into question a number of Weinstein company projects. Two such Amazon outings are now “reviewing” Weinstein involvement, potentially setting back Matt Weiner’s The Romanoffs and a new David O. Russell-Robert De Niro drama.

Amazon may be in the midst of turnover, but those Romanoffs are really filling out. Mad Men boss Matthew Weiner’s global anthology cast expands even further, adding Paul Reiser and Girls alum Corey Stoll and Andrew Rannells to the already-Mad cast.

As if Roger and Joanie’s reunion weren’t enough, Matt Weiner’s latest additions to Amazon anthology The Romanoffs will really drive you Mad. The series adds even more producers, writers and directors from Mad Men’s hallowed halls, before its 2018 premiere.

Just over ten years after Mad Men began, Roger and Joan are together again. Matt Weiner has plucked two Sterling-Cooper alum for his new history-spanning Amazon drama The Romanoffs, as Christina Hendricks, John Slattery and more join the cast.

Mad Men always maintained an odd relationship with history, incorporating major ‘60s events, but keep Sterling-Cooper and Don Draper’s work somewhat obscure in the advertising world. No longer, it seems, as Heinz has officially adopted an abandoned ketchup pitch from Mad Men Season 6 for use in the real world.
